Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,738, dated NOV( 11:1)(1' 18, 1873;,app1ication filcd October 2:5, 1873.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, S. It. BUsII, of Bushs Mill, in the county of Gallia and in the State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bag-Tie; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters .of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in a perforated plate and a hook connected by an the same, open. Fig. 2 is a perspective view,

showing thetie closed around the mouth of the sack; and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bag-tie.

A represents an open link, on which are placed a hook, B, and a perforated plate, 0.

The ends of the open link A are passed from the outside through the bag or sack D, after which the link is closed. The hook B is then pressed against the sack and fastened by hooking into the plate at any point desired. The hook and plate, being attached to the link in the manner shown, form a part of a circle, and make a very simple and convenient arrangement for the purposes intended.

It is fastened and unfastened by turning or rolling the plate on and of the hook, by holding the loose end of the plate between the thumb and forefinger of the right hand.

This bag-tie is simple, cheap, and durable, and easily fastened and unfastened and when fastened it cannot comeundone.

Having thus fully described in y invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of i the open link A, hook B, and perforated plate 0, for the purposes SETH R. 1 BUSH.
